W3C/WAI Announces Wide Review Publication of Challenges Document

Colleagues:

Following on all our hard work, discussion, WBS surveying, and two Calls for Consensus, it gives me great pleasure to note the document "Challenges with Accessibility Guidelines Conformance and Testing, and Approaches for Mitigating Them" has been published for wide review. The W3C blog post announcing this publication is here:

https://www.w3.org/blog/2020/06/accessibility-conformance-challenges-draft/

The WAI Announcement post is here:

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wai-announce/2020AprJun/0005.html

The permanent URL which will always point to the latest published version as we continue to refine this document is here:

https://www.w3.org/TR/accessibility-conformance-challenges/

Please forward the blog post (or the WAI Announce message) freely. Comments have already begun coming in, and we look forward to additional comments with your help getting the word about this publication out.

And, Shawn Henry requests that we please encourage everyone to subscribe to the WAI-Announcements e-mail list, please.
It is a very low traffic list that only gets announcements from WAI -- average 2-3 emails per month.

To subscribe, send e-mail to public-wai-announce-request@w3.org with subject: "subscribe".

(More info about the list is here: https://www.w3.org/WAI/IG#mailinglist )

Thanking you all for your many suggestions, criticisms, and various other contributions as we developed this document to this point,

Janina
